Question

I am trying to add a text to the textview for which i have set the width as Wrap_content. I am trying to get the width of this textview. But its showing 0 in all the cases.

Answer 1

You can use this library to schedule the task of perform calculation on the width to the correct time after the view had been completely drawn

https://github.com/Mohamed-Fadel/MainThreadScheduler

Sample of use:

MainThreadScheduler.scheduleWhenIdle(new Runnable() {
       @Override
       public void run() {
           int width = textview.getWidth();
           int height = textview.getHeight();
           textview.setText( String.valueOf( width +","+ height ));
       }
   });

Answer 2

You should use this:

textView.getMeasuredWidth();
